Abstract

Indoor localization has been actively researched recently due to security and safety as well as service matters. Previous research and development for indoor localization includes infrared, wireless LAN and ultrasonic. However, these technologies suffer either from the limited accuracy or lacking of the infrastructure. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is very attractive because of reasonable system price, and reader reliability. The RFID localization can be categorized into tag and reader localizations. In this paper, major localization techniques for both tag and reader localizations are reviewed to provide the readers state of the art of the indoor localization algorithms. The advantage and disadvantage of each technique for particular applications were also discussed.
